End of Day 2 Chip Counts
| RANK | PLAYER | COUNTRY | CHIP COUNT | |
| 1 | Dylan Weisman | United States | 9,435,000 | |
| 2 | Alexander Yen | United States | 5,530,000 | |

The final table of nine players turned to eight when the short-stacked Karen Sarkisyan busted shortly after doubling up. The excited and cheerful Youness Barakat was next out when he got it in with a pair of jacks and Weisman paired his king to win the pot.
A highlight of the final table included when a short-stacked Craig Chait was all-in against Chase Fujita. Fujita flopped a diamond flush against the pair of kings Chait, who went runner-runner to hit a full house as his rail consisting of Ari Engel, Carol Fuchs, and others screamed in celebration.
A few orbits later, Fujita was sent out in sixth when he got his stack in with a pair and a straight draw but lost to the flush of Yen as the board ran out.
Day 3 of Event #28: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha will commence on Oct. 16 at noon local time and play down to a winner, who will earn a coveted WSOP bracelet and $166,461.
